Intern responses to surveys:

The webcasts are great because we collaborate on fun projects.  They are not like school.

I really liked programming the HTML. I would like to do more of it once I complete my skill-measuring game. I love editing websites.

Overall, Build-it-Yourself rules!

Build-It-Yourself is like First LEGO League on steroids
